Stop chimney leaks at the source
The chimney is one of the most common places for a roof to leak, and one of the most missed. Up there it takes the full force of the weather, so the mortar washes out, the lead flashing lifts, and the render cracks and falls away. Water then runs down inside the stack and shows up as a stain on the chimney breast in the bedroom, often nowhere near where it is actually getting in.
We repair chimneys all over Norwich and the villages. Whether yours needs a quick repoint, new leadwork, or a full rebuild of the top few courses, we will tell you straight what it needs and what it does not.
What is included
- Repointing washed-out and crumbling mortar
- New lead flashing where the chimney meets the roof
- Re-rendering and re-capping the stack
- Replacing cracked or loose chimney pots
- Fitting cowls to keep rain and birds out
- Removing redundant chimneys and making good
Worth a look
Signs your chimney needs work
- Damp patches or staining on the chimney breast inside
- Crumbling, sandy mortar between the bricks
- Lead flashing that has lifted, cracked or slipped
- White salt stains on the brickwork
- Bits of mortar or render in the gutter below
- A leaning stack or loose, wobbly pot
Leadwork done the right way
Most chimney leaks come down to bad flashing, the lead that seals the join where the stack meets the roof. Cheap jobs use mortar or sealant where proper lead should go, and it cracks within a couple of winters. We dress new lead in properly so the join is watertight and stays that way. It is the difference between a fix that lasts and one you are calling about again next year.
Repoint or rebuild?
Not every tired chimney needs taking down and rebuilding. Often a repoint and new flashing is all it takes. If the top courses are badly gone, we rebuild just those and save you the cost of the lot. And if you have a chimney you never use that keeps causing trouble, we can take it down below the roofline and make the roof good over it. We will give you the honest options.
